TOP 10:

10. Episode 98 (Zombie Special)

I really love how they started with a skit where Running Man members were high school students (with different characters such as gangster, top student, spoiled rich kid, working student, etc) going on a field trip and they have no idea on what awaits for them. It's like watching an adventure movie with suspense, mystery, action and comedy - all in one! Plus the monday couple had a good team work in this episode.

9. Episode 130 (Reincarnation)

This episode is full of twists and surprises. It's not only a battle of strength but also a battle of mind and wit. Even me is puzzled in knowing who is who.

8. Episode 104 (Running Olympics 2012 - RM vs Idols 1)

An Olympic special with RM members versus a team of competitive idols. I was rooting for the Running Man team to win, but the idol team has aces Nichkhun and Yong Hwa and also athlete Doo Joon. In the end, the RM team lost to the idol team; but it was a close match.

7. Episode 129 (Running Olympics 2013 - RM vs Idols 2)

Here's another set of enthusiastic idols to join the Olympics versus the Running Man team. As much as I want RM team to win, they were also fired up to beat the idol team THIS TIME. And yes, they did win this time! Woohoo! Of course the idol team also did well in the games.

6. Episode 42 (1st Battle of the Best)

A very exciting name tag ripping game. There are no guests, just the members. Full of alliances and betrayals, they have to survive on their own. An individual battle of strength and strategy to determine who is the best Running Man. I was expecting Kim Jong Kook to win, but it was Kang Gary!

Top 10:

Here are my favorite female celebrity guests on running man. This list is purely based on my opinion. I have watched MOST of their episodes but not all, so I may have not included your favorites. Kpop female idols are not included here since I made another list for them. [Spoiler alert!]

Lee Hyo Ri on Episode 1

1. Lee Hyo Ri (Episode 1)What to anticipate: Her competitiveness, foul play ideas and her perfect smile on the bridal shot game. Having enough experience on variety shows (Family Outing together with Jaesuk and Joong Kook), she’s one of the first and best guests ever. For me she’s confident and cool.

Park Ye Jin on Episode 37

2. Park Ye Jin (Episodes 37, 241) What to anticipate: Her boldness to face the commander and the other RM members, and a match with ace Ji Hyo. She has a sweet and a savage side. Like Lee Hyo Ri, she also knows how to play in the variety world (Family Outing).

3. Lee Yoo Ri, Seo Woo, Choi Yeo Jin, Yoo In Young and Kim Min Seo (Episode 213) This is just a hilarious, exciting and memorable episode of Running Man. These actresses gave their all in order to win, and did not care about their image for the time. It was a ferocious battle according to the PD. What to anticipate:

Lee Yoo Ri splashing water on Gary’s face and throwing people (including the Commander) off the platform with a smile on her face. She’s the ‘hard-core evil queen’ as dubbed by the show.

Seo Woo’s issues on shoes, towel and hair. She may look sweet and petite but she’s always up to the challenge.

Choi Yeo Jin turning a dirty car wash to an impromptu shoot, plus her surprise attack on Kwang So on their first meeting.

Yoo In Young’s surprise on Haha with a re-enactment of her role on My Love from the Star and her competitive spirit.

4. Lee Gook Joo, Hong Jin Young, Baek Ji Young and Kang Seung Hyun (Episode 205) Another memorable episode of Running Man that is full of fun, laughter and dance parties. The entire guest interacts well with the members and even throwing jokes with each other. What to anticipate:

Lee Gook Joo’s comedic act and dancing skill making the show livelier.

Hong Jin Young being teased by and to Kwang So. She’s an energizer to the team and a party person.

Baek Ji Young as a female tiger and another partier.

Noh Sa Yeon on Episode 103

5.Noh Sa Yeon (Episodes 49, 103, 137) What to anticipate: A piggy back ride exhausting her teammates and her joyful attitude that is contagious to the other members. She’ll never fail to make the viewers laugh every time she comes to the show. Her funniest moment for me is the ‘Tuna Sayeon’.

Top 10:

Here are my favourite female idol guests on running man. This list is purely based on my opinion. I have watched MOST of their episodes but not all, so I may have not included your favourites. Only female idols are included here, there’s another list for non-idol celebrity guests. [Spoiler alert!]

Bae Suzy on Episode 155

1.Miss A’s Suzy (Episodes 55, 93, 94, 117, 155, 172, 173, 208)What to anticipate: Bright and cheerful attitude making the atmosphere livelier. As a regular guest, she is like a part of the family, so every time she visits, everyone’s comfortable working with her. By the way, she’s also one of the prettiest guests.

IU (Lee Ji Eun) on Episode 77

2.IU (Episodes 43, 77, 96, 97, 168)What to anticipate: Making the males her instant fan and a morning call with her amazing singing talent. Like Suzy, she is one of RM’s regular guests and is also a family to the members. She’s not physically strong but she’s giving her best effort in every game. She’s also cute and adorable even if she’s a lady now.

Uee (Kim Yu Jin) on Episode 34

3.After School’s Uee (Episode 34, 137, 249, 271, 272)What to anticipate: Being tricked and being game to do what is asked. Uee is one of my favourite guests; she is always in a funny and interesting episode (one where she’s being trick, the other with Noh Sa Yeon, and in a food battle). She also has ​a cute relationship with Kwang So.

4.SNSD (Episodes 63, 64, 254​)Spending 2 days with SNSD (Taeyeon, Yuri, Jessica, Hyoyeon, Yoona and Seohyun), the Running Man male members could not ask for more. Choosing their partners at the beginning was cute and funny. And again, they visited the show as a complete group (with 8 members) on Episode 254.What to anticipate:

Yuri partnered with Kwang So. Their love line started on Yuri’s first RM visit (Episode 16) where she was tricked by the members. Crying after losing the quiz showed her pureness. She really wants to win and doesn’t want to be a burden to others.

Jessica trying to play dirty with her bargaining skills and using a Gary’s expression – STRESS! She also appeared on Episodes 4, 5 and 141.

Yoona being competitive, straightforward and showing her cooking skills. She also appeared on Episode 39 with Sunny.

Sooyoung escaping danger using her different level of negotiating skills.

​

2NE1 on Episode 156

5.2NE1’s Bom, CL, Minzy and Sandara (Episodes 156, 195)What to anticipate: 2NE1 is on Running Man! They were competitive and surprisingly strong, especially Minzy. Well, Sandara is not very strong but still she’s doing her best. And they also had fun in the dance show off.

Here are my favorite male celebrity guests on running man. This list is purely based on my opinion. I have watched MOST of their episodes but not all, so I may have not included your favourites. [Spoiler alert!]

Top 10:

Jung Yong Hwa on Episode 127

1.CN Blue's Yong Hwa (Episodes 11,14,35,36,72,73,104,127,129,186,242)What to anticipate: Being an ace player idol. He's a regular guest and is like family to the members. He’s also the guest with the most number of appearances on the show. And he is one of few who have beaten the commander in a nametag ripping game.

Nichkhun on Episode 104

2.2PM's Nichkhun (Episodes 4,5,19,40,50,51,104,195,248)What to anticipate: Another idol who can match the commander. He is physically strong, good at games and musically talented (which he showed in an episode). He's also a regular guest.

Park Ji Sung and Patrice Evra on Episode 154

3.Park Ji Sung (Episodes 96,97,153,154,199,200) and Patrice Evra (Episode 154)What to anticipate: Humor similar with the RM members. Whenever Ji Sung visits the show, it is surely a good episode and adding Evra makes it best. I love their interactions with the members. I’m not a fan of soccer but watching their game is really enjoyable.

Choi Min Soo on Episode 52

4.Choi Min So (Episodes 52,53,69,118)What to anticipate: Hunting the RM members. He’s making the members tremble in fear and he’s ousting them in the most unimaginable way.

Lee Joon on Episode 129

5.Mblaq's Lee Joon (Episodes 104,108,129)What to anticipate: Easy going and leisurely playing the game. He is an idol with a character that is similar to Kwang So. Sometimes he does mistakes making him more entertaining to watch.
